Not what was expected, but fun and entertaining none the less; however, it'sbetter than the critics say.
In terms of graphics it isn't the most impressive game, but the smooth gameplay and gun mechanics makes up for this flaw. Free Radical is very good at making the shooting mechanics of a game work flawlessly and they did this in Haze.
Multiplayer is fantastic. There is no lag and it works flawlessly. Online co-op is genius for the campaign and the actual mutliplayer is even better.
Overall, if you bought into all the hype about the game and find the concept of Nectar and the Promise Hand interesting I say go for it and get the game. You never know if you will like a game until you play it yourself. The multiplayer is very fun and I think the game is very entertaining and re-playable overall.
